The author takes as his starting point events that shock us in
their extreme violence, such as the burning of the Mozambican man
Ernesto Alfabeto Nhamuave and the Marikana shootings. He notes how
the language of the commentary on these events evokes a complex
continuation of apartheid's historical legacy. Using both
psychoanalytic and social theory, he then proceeds to craft a
theoretical framework within which to trace a sustained analysis of
the psychic life of power in (post)apartheid South Africa: an
awareness of how social structure and psychical or affective forces
jointly produce material reality. Power itself has its
psychological facets and social formations may themselves exhibit
patterns of psychical causality.
